I replaced my check valve at fuel pump 3 weeks ago. I tried to do it with out the tool, but found that the fuel line kept bending and I did'nt want it to kink ( there is'nt a whole lot of room for a mistake). I bought the tool and it cost me an additional $48.00 the price you saw is for the Saab dealers. The tool it self looks different than the drawing you saw on the directions page of the web site.
After I recieved the tool in the mail, it took a few minutes to figure the clamping of the fuel line... you leave a little bit of the fuel line (1/2 inch) outside of the clamp,once you get the ckeck valve started in you can loosen the clamp and move it back;the tool acts like a vice and holds everything in place while you do this. If you don't loosen the clamp the check valve will still go into the fuel line but you'll need a wrench to loosen the clamp because it will get very tight.
The tool worked great. It took less tha 5 minutes to do. I called a couple of shops before I ordered the tool, none of them had ever heard of the tool. One said to heat the fuel line with a heat gun. The other said to put the check valve on a vice, spray it with silicone and push it on.
